Re: WSPR on 28MHz
Hi Andy
Thanks for doing the experiments. But can you confirm pls -
1) On 10MHz (or some frequency where we think it is working Ok), you should
see a ramp which goes from 0Hz shift to 5.5Hz shift,

Re: WSPR on 28MHz
I've done the ramp test.
Results are here:

It only confirms my previous findings :-(
1) At one chosen frequency in 28Mhz I

Re: WSPR on 28MHz
I have my grabber monitoring my 28mhz wspr output.

At 28mhz I seem to have 9hz shift.

Many thanks for all your efforts in helping to collect evidence to track

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Hi Andy
You can get a pure unmodulated carrier by setting FSK (Hz) to 0 and using
FSKCW mode with any message.
Ok, I will see if there is space!

Re: WSPR on 28MHz
Further update on this problem.
G0FTD seems to have intermittent thin WSPR data trace and no de-codes on 28MHz but has seen a decode or 2 of his own signal after fiddling.

Thanks Philip
Glad yours works on 28MHz, knowing that you use outboard LPF was an influence for my test without the Output FET powered in case there was feedback.
Your report puts us back into

Got a few spots which considering the band conditions and
my Windom's reluctance to tune on 10 meters was a result..

Re: PA problem on new QRSS TX, some progress ;-)
Ok Hans. I don't think my efforts here will be terribly helpful.
I made the circuit (ugly style) and I have a problem with it. It had no
efect.

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Yep. Odd thing is I decided to put the rig live on 10m and the
trace went funny. So it wasn;t the DDS ref afterall then.
Just plonked it on 30m now. Whaddya know - I can see all 4 bit
streams for the

Re: WSPR on U2 tests.
I've had the U2 kit working well on 20m WSPR (but without the GPS which still doesn't work here?). The kit still only has a single FET at 5v as the PA and the antenna is a "loop" made

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Odd. As such calibrating will / should do nothing to the signal data as long as you are in the WSPR window which you can see for yourself anyway. The GPS does it spot on anyway.
OK test in my mind,

Re: WSPR on U2 tests, 28MHZ WSPR solved I think.
Oh no, not another gong ;-)
I've just had a thought to recheck my 125Mhz DDS clock frequency.
I did notice a shift by 25Hz when I plonked the heat shieled on the
DDS module but didn't think

Re: WSPR on U2 tests.
Good idea.
I have just seen / heard seen a WSPR signal on 28.126167MHz, does any one here own this signal. I could hear it clanging and banging just like my U2 on 28MHz and the signal did not

Re: WSPR on U2 tests.
I forgot to add that the 28Mhz trace appears to be only about
2 - 2.5Hz bandwidth on Spectran.

WSPR on U2 tests.
I've retitled this thread, since to the best of my knowledge there
is no longer an issue with the PA on 28Mhz once the DDS pot is given
a little tweak.
Now I've done some tests on WSPR.
